Why we do this?

Every Child needs a family

Why we do this?

We want children out of institutions and cared for by families. This vision drives OrphanCare.

We believe children have the right to love, security, shelter, health and education as enshrined in Malaysia’s Child Act (Amendment) 2016 and the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). The damage caused by institutions makes us passionate about our mission. Unfortunate circumstances can be mitigated by good policies and determined action.
